IVE Liz Often Gets Misunderstood as a Foreign or Half-Korean Member
Liz is often mistaken as a foreign member in Theqoo and other online communities. Except for Kong-soonie Rei (Japanese), all five members of IVE are Korean.
Liz's real name is Kim Jiwon, born in Jeju Island

In addition, International fans also often ask whether she's foreign or half-Korean. I don't know how it became a meme, but there's this joke about Liz being a German (German Liz)
International fans are calling her 'Liz German' as a joke, right? They keep saying she's German...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our Jiwon is a Tangerine Princess who has a tangerine farm...!
She was born in Nohyung-dong, Jeju City. I guess they call her that because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looksㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It seems like the reason she's often misunderstood as a foreign member is because she has distinctive facial features and Western-ish looks + her name is Lizㅋㅋ
-Wow, I thought she was half-Korean until nowㅋㅋㅋ
-The other members all have Korean names, so I also initially thought she was a foreigner because her stage name is Lizㅋㅋ
-Kim Jiwon was born in Jeju City, Nohyeong-dong, at the Jeju Future Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic.
-Oh, I've heard about the meme made by international fans, saying that Liz's real name is Elizabeth Helga Müllerㅋㅋ
-Wow, I also thought IVE had two foreign members...
-She kinda reminds me of Jeon Somi, so I thought maybe one of her parents is a foreignerㅋㅋㅋ
-She's sooo prettyㅋㅋ
-Liz is gorgeous.
-Why Germany out of all places, though?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-In her graduation photo, she looks Korean, but when she dyes her hair, she really looks half-Korean... So beautiful~~
-The stage name 'Liz' suits her really well...
-I think she looks like she's from Uzbekistan.
-I think it's because she looks like she's of German descent...
-How can her graduation photo look like that? She's so beautiful.
-The German Liz meme started because of her outfit in the "Eleven" music video; it looked like traditional German attire.
K-Fans Confused as International Fans Get Upset Over This Do Kyungsoo-Related Tweet
대충 백색소음으로 틀어놓은 채널이었는데 귀가 번쩍 뜨여서 트위터에 검색했더니 역시 팬들이 발 빠르게 올려줬네ㅋㅋㅋ 본인 취향 같긴 한데 계속해서 내는 힐링 발라드 말고 이런 쪽 노래도 한 번 고려해 봤으면 하는 생각.. 한정돤 장르에 갇혀 있기에 목소리가 너무 아깝다 https://t.co/BCzvxbuuQC

I had this playing softly in the background, like background noise, but suddenly I heard something interesting. So, I checked on Twitter, and yup, the fans were already talking about itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He seems to like this type of song, but I wish he'd try different types of songs instead of just sticking to soothing ballads all the time... I feel like he's not using his voice to its full potential by sticking to one genre.
International fans are furious to read this Tweet, the Quotes are filled with them saying things like, "Let him do whatever genre he wants"
-International fans, regardless of the fandom, are like natural disasters, seriously...
-Learn Korean... -_-
-If you read the automated translation on Twitter, it does sound like the OP is saying it angrilyㅋㅋㅋㅋ But before quoting it, shouldn't International fans do some research?
-D.O. sings so well, wow... I knew it already, but he's really good.
-That's right, learning Korean might not always help with understanding nuances. English translation is possible, but there are often subtle differences that we might not understand either.
-Oh, the translation got off track. It's a waste of his treasure-like voice to limit himself to just one genre. The OP meant they wish he'd try various genres, the OP didn't mean that his current genre is a waste of his voice.
-It would be fun if he sang various genresㅋㅋㅋ
-It seems like International fans always cause trouble regardless of their fandom, it seems like they have a lot of complaints. Kyungsoo is really good at singing, and he's good at acting, and he's really good at singing too. I hope he tries various genres since he's so good at everything. He's so good, I hope he tries more things.
-It was translated as "such a waste," so maybe they understood it as his current genre being a waste of his voice... No, that's not the meaning......
-For world peace, Do Kyungsoo should sing pop, ballad, R&B, and hip-hop equally.
-I've seen this situation happen several times before. I think don't think it's because of the culturals difference, it's just International fans that refuse to understand cultural or language differences, and they're discriminating against and hating Korea.
-Can't he try an R&B solo once?
-It seems like the translation is coming off as complainingㅋㅋㅋㅋ. If you translate the English quotes, they're all not complaining and actually respecting his choiceㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Let him do what he wants to do.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's "Running Man" airing on the 12th, Byun Wooseok and the cast go back to their high school days. In a recent recording, Byun Wooseok wore a school uniform and pretended to be a student going to school. As soon as he stepped into the scene, he received a confession from an unidentified high school student.

ㄴIt's been awhile since she left

-Alright, gonna watch it tomorrow.
-Handsome ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I have never properly watched Running Man, but I'll make sure to focus this time.

The ticketing system of HYBE's localized group, &TEAM, receives negative responses among fans
하이브 진짜 미친놈들인가 ㅋㅋ

글르네들 하느님석 보내는거 다 까발려져서
선행접수 안하니까 프리미엄 시트 이딴거를 내놓으셨는데
가격이 일반티켓의 두배 + 먼저 지정석 선행 신청해야하고(환불 불가능) + 업그레이드 추첨을 또 해야함
업그레이드 당첨되면 돈 두배로 내고 떨어지면 강제… pic.twitter.com/Yet9TGGFTE
Since I didn't apply in advance, they offered me a premium seat or something like that.
The price is twice that of a regular ticket + you must apply for reserved seats first (non-refundable) + you must enter an upgrade lottery again
If you win the upgrade, you have to pay twice the money, and if you don't, you have to sit in the designated seat.
-Nowadays, the idol industry has become too complicated, even reading the main text, I don't understand what it means. It feels like reading alien language.
-It seems like all Japanese concerts are like this... If it's a Japanese group, it might be even worse.
-Even after reading it twice, I still don't understand what they're saying...
-Other idols also do the same thing, but if all non-Japanese fans are sent to the designated seat as stated in the main text, then it's a problem.
-Isn't it almost always like this in Japanese concerts?
-It feels like listening to an explanation of quantum mechanics. I don't understand anything
-The reason &TEAM's fans are angry isn't really because of that. &TEAM has a long history of sending people to the third floor at Japanese concerts unless they're Japanese.
-I really don't understand what they're talking about.
-While it's true that most Japanese idol concerts use a lottery system, giving designated seats only to Korean fans crosses a line.
-Japanese concerts are always like this.
-It's annoying how they treat global fans.
-It's the same everywhere. It's just the Japanese system.

-It's so cute how his lips swell and become roundㅋㅋㅋ
-His lips are really plump~

The girl who looks relaxed, wearing sunglasses next to her is the maknae of the group, Chiquita

The reason Zico does that is because Yook Sungjae recommends this song to listen to while fishing
-It's like crazy, he sings so well...
-Wow, he sings so damn wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Even his voice is handsomeㅋㅋㅋㅋ He's so good.
-Seriously, he sings so well.
-But seriously, not laughing while Zico is doing that next to him is impressiveㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-His vocal range is insane.
-His voice suits this kind of pop song.
-What's Zico doing next to himㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wow, Sungjae.

Finally, the English subtitle for Min Heejin's press conference is out
I think the subtitle is quite accurate
-I can also study English while watching subtitlesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Can someone dub this?
-I wish foreign fans who buy K-pop albums would watch some.
-Let's start studying English.
-Even foreigners might find this interesting somehowㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh my... seriously, what an effort.
-After watching this, please stop harassing Min Heejin, imagine how much she suffered because of Bang Sihyuk.
-International fans, stop making up things and watch this instead.
-Exactly, we need things like this, because BTS fans were spreading rumors like crazy.
-2 hours and 13 minutes, seriously, isn't this almost like watching a movie with subtitles?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-International fans, stop making up rumors now.
-Wow, full translation, top-notch effortㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow... They even translate the Kakao Talk messages
-Wow, impressive, really.
-I wonder how "Cinderella always wins!" got translated
-There are some weird people among overseas K-pop fans who spread rumors while not knowing anything. Since there's a properly translated video now, they should watch it.
-I wonder if this can be used to study English.
Would you rather have the ability to make most people like you vs not hated by anyone?
-For celebrities, it's 1, but for ordinary people, being disliked isn't necessary, 2 is enough.
-I don't like everyone anyway.
-I want to experience a life where there's not a single person who dislikes me, but if you don't receive love either, what's the point of not being disliked? Is it worth it to be disliked for some love?
-2 I want to live comfortably, receiving too much love can be burdensome.
-It's scary because you don't know what someone who hates you intensely might do.
-222 The world is scary.
-As an ordinary person (non-celeb), 2. Even if you receive 100 compliments from fans, one negative comment can really be annoying...
-2 Sometimes, other people's attention... can be bothersome.
-2 It's nice to be loved, but extreme hate is scary...
-22 If it's not just dislike but extreme hate, it seems like my safety might be at risk.
-What's wrong with receiving a bit of hate?
-2 It's okay to receive hate, but if it's extreme hate... it might lead to murder.
-22 Just want to live peacefully.
-111 I want to become an influential person.
